Jimmy would be GMC that was driver slang for them. Glad I could help.I believe that's it, the lines are very similar. I thought it was a Jimmy or a White, thanks so much for figuring it out so fast. Great memories in those old trucks with no heat, ac or sleeper. And only a bench seat. Dodged weigh stations, got stuck under bridges, went over mountains no semi ever had before. I learned to use flares and smudge pots when I was 6, directing traffic when Dad had to back up multiple times around hair pin curves on mountains. Two sets of log books. I slept on a packing blanket in the floorboard lol. Thanks again, be safe out there!

Do you have to buy your own gloves?Sometimes I whine when I don’t get a shower or my gloves get old and my hands start to get dirty.
Probably not but he provides the wine.Do you have to buy your own gloves?
I know,it’s just not right.Sometimes I whine when I don’t get a shower or my gloves get old and my hands start to get dirty.

Last time I heard "Jimmy" it was in reference to the GMC version of the early 90's model Chevy Blazer.They don't call em Jimmy's no more? God I'm old lol. Thanks again, just showed the pic to my mom who agrees that's the truck!
It was the dark of the moon on the 6th of June in a Kenworth hauling logsDang, the slang changed and left me behind lol. The old song, 6 Days on the Road said 'I just passed a Jimmy and a White, I've been passin everything in sight'. Of course that song is old as heck too.
I posted you a picture out of my collection.....you might find it interesting.....I always on a hunt for the old stuff...They don't call em Jimmy's no more? God I'm old lol. Thanks again, just showed the pic to my mom who agrees that's the truck!

Here's a pic of my '88 Jimmy (like the noted K5 Chevy Blazer) that's generally my daily driver, although it gets a crappy 12 mpg, at most. It's a pretty good horse but sure doesn't ride as nice as the adjacent vehicles, an '05 Jeep and the (just barely visible) '98 Dakota.Last time I heard "Jimmy" it was in reference to the GMC version of the early 90's model Chevy Blazer.
Half the trucks we installed cranes on were Brigadiers.Back in 1997 I was driving a 1973 GMC Brigadier. I know right?
But the new guy (rookie) gets the oldest POS to drive. I didn't know it was a "Jimmy".
Some drivers would ask me if it was gas powered? they said it sounded like it.
I didn't even know back then that they even had gas powered trucks. I hope this one was diesel, because that is what I was filling it with.
